Lance Lahnert: My 2 cents

■ Peyton Manning: The Colts will be making a mistake if they cut this NFL legend. I don’t care how much money he was supposed to make. Manning should have retired a Colt. Of course, the NFL is a public relations machine, and the team Manning signs with will play the Colts next season. I can’t wait.

Allen, Texas: The host city of the Lone Star Conference basketball tournaments receives two thumbs up from me. What a perfect venue with lots of gracious people. Just wish they had Allen indoor football star Terrell Owens sing the national anthem before a game.

Thumbs Down

■ Bounty ball: This bounty thing with the New Orleans Saints should end this way: Saints head coach Sean Payton and former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams should be banned from the NFL for one year. That punishment would put an end to the next coach thinking he could get away with this, By the way, did the Tampa Bay player taking out Payton’s knee on the sideline with that tackle know about the bounty and go for a payback?
